Basement --Phase 1

The basement is almost finished.  The floor, ceiling and walls are painted and our IKEA stuff arrived (and after a few swear words and a cut or two, is assembled).  The kids have spent the majority of the day down there, which is the best compliment a mom can get. All that's left is for our electrician to show up and finish the recessed lighting, a bathroom update and for us to move the couch and tv from upstairs down. Oh, and some sort of bar configuration.  So nice to finally have a spot to send the kids to.
